Battle of Rocroi (1944)

The Battle of Rocroi (October 1944) occurred when a German infantry division kampfgruppe, based in the northern French town of Revin, advanced across the Meuse River to attack the French Army outpost at Rocroi. The German forces struggled to take the town from the two North African units holding it, especially from a French armored car that positioned itself near their main base. The German attacks were held off after a day of fighting, and the French maintained their control over the town.
